I paused briefly before speaking. “There’s a drug store in front. I’ll get down and buy some medicine for him.”
“It’s fine!” Anthony said.
I got into a temper upon hearing him and said angrily, “Shut up if you don’t want to die!”
The car stopped along the roadside. I didn’t see the shocking expression of the driver and alighted while lifting the hem of the dress.
To be honest, the gown was not fit for humans. It was not only troublesome but way too cold to be in.
Especially in a cold place like K City.
After getting the medicine, I divided the medicine properly before passing the warm water from the drug store to the aloof man. “Eat the medicine.”
He didn’t speak, and he was as cold as ice. The driver saw me shivering and switched on the heater. He even passed me a jacket and said, “Madam, please put on this jacket first.”
The black tuxedo suit that Anthony was wearing was taken off at some point in time. It was the one that the driver passed to me.
I was speechless. This man was more long-winded than a woman.
He was still closing his eyes with his brows furrowed. I said, “Anthony, eat the medicine. You can die of pain if you refuse to eat. I’m too tired to deal with you now.”
I put down the medicine and the warm water on the rack as I spoke. I threw the jacket back to him and was about to alight the car.
He grabbed my wrist. “Where are you going?”
“It’s none of your business!”
“Go home!” He said in a low voice as the car started.
I didn’t say much. I looked at Anthony and said, “Eat the medicine!”
He opened his bloodshot eyes. I could imagine he probably had not been resting well these few days.
He ate the medicine in silence and continued to close his eyes to rest. The driver was confused and queried, “Madam, should we go to the hospital or?”
“Go home!” Anthony said. His tone was final.
I pursed my lips. My brain was buzzing. “Anthony…”
“Jared will come over later!” There was fatigue in his voice.
I didn’t say anything else.
It didn’t take long to reach the villa. It felt inconvenient to lift my dress. After alighting the car, Anthony still closed his eyes without budging.
The driver looked at me helplessly, as if he didn’t dare to touch Anthony lightly.
I sighed and walked to Anthony’s side. “Anthony, get down. We’re home!”
He opened his eyes without any further movements. Instead, he stared at me with a dark look in his eyes.
After exchanging a long stare, I gave up and reached out to him. “I’ll help you down!”
He pursed his lips, refusing to speak. But half of his slender body was leaning on me.
Besides wearing a long dress, I was in super high heels which I rarely find myself in, so I found it hard to balance.
In addition, the man had shifted most of his weight on me, and to support a grown-ass man while walking in heels proved to be a challenge.
However, it was too late to go back on my decision. Since the driver had left, I could only grit my teeth as I supported him into the house, and we still had to walk past the garden to the bedroom.
That was the first time I realized big houses weren’t really ideal under some circumstances. Stopping in my tracks, I asked, “Anthony, can you walk?”
He frowned and gazed at me with his dark eyes. “What do you think?”
I…
Well… One will always pay the price for one’s action.
Slowly but surely, we finally reached the bedroom. Having used up all my strength, I didn’t feel right and the first thing I wanted to do after placing him on the bed was to change into a more comfortable outfit.
However, I was too quick on my movements that I stepped on my dress when I was getting up from the bed.
The tube-top dress didn’t have any straps to support it on my body, so the heavy dress slid down, and I was exposed, wearing only my flesh-colored underwear and the nipple tapes.
Wearing the nipple tapes made no difference to being naked. Anthony looked at me while he snickered, “You’re so eager today.”
I…
Pursing my lips, I ignored his words and went to the wardrobe to change into some casual wear. When I came out, Anthony was nowhere to be found, while the sound of water could be heard coming from the washroom.
Too many things had happened today. Feeling exhausted, I went to the study and switched on the television. Reading the news headline, it was exactly as I had expected. Those videos of Cameron were leaked to the public.
To my surprise, the Moore family had the power to suppress the news from getting out of hand, but they did nothing.
Even Cameron sat by and did nothing. It felt like she was deliberately giving me a chance.
Seeing how it was rather late at night, I gave up on the thought of calling Jackson.
After resting for a while, I went back to the bedroom. Anthony was still in the washroom.
This shouldn’t be, as he was one of those who showered fairly quickly and always get himself clean under ten minutes. I’ve stayed at the study for a while, so he should be out by now.
With worry in my heart, I headed toward the washroom and knocked on the door. “Anthony, are you in there?”
No response.
I grew restless and turned the doorknob. To my surprise, the door actually opened.
Opening the door slightly, the warm and moist steam came out from the washroom with the scent of shampoo. I said, “Anthony…”
Before I could finish my sentence, my view was blocked by his lower abdomen. Lifting my head subconsciously, I saw his firm and sexy abs.
He was retracting his hand from the door, and it seemed he was here to open the door.
I froze for a bit and asked awkwardly, “Are you done?”
The man hummed a reply. He was just done bathing and looked really attractive with his wet hair.
I moved away from the entrance while he exited the washroom with a towel wrapping on his lower body and wiped his hair.
